, p. 469 - 474 (1983)
N-nitrosopiperidine and N-nitroso-N-methylaniline react in acidic solution with thiocarbonyl compounds to give the corresponding carbonyl analogues.Secondary- and tertiary thioamides, xanthione, thio- and dithiobutyrolactone, thiocoumarin, certain thiourea derivatives, dithio-O,O-thiocarbonic, S,S-trithiocarbonic- and N,N disubstituted thiocarbamic esters are all converted into the corresponding O-analogues.Thiobenzamide and N-phenylthiourea yield 1,2,4-thiadiazoles.All the reactions are run with iodide (I-) as NO+-carrier.The kinetics of the reaction have been studied under pseudo-first order conditions, and the reaction rate is proportional to the Pearson's nucleophilicity parameter of ions.The =C=S =C=O transformation is also found to take place in gastric juice.

The feasibility of the cyclization of γ-alkylthiobutyric acid derivatives to form previously unknown five-membered-ring acyl sulfonium cations was studied. Experimental results were in good agreement with our DFT calculations that predicted such cyclizations to be easy if starting with acyl iodides and mixed anhydrides of triflic acid. Particularly efficient were the reactions of γ-alkylthiobutyryl fluorides with trimethylsilyl triflate in CDCl3 solution, which led to cyclic acyl sulfonium triflates. In some cases, the observed acyl sulfonium salts were stable enough to be characterized by NMR spectroscopy. They were found to be both alkyl-transfer reagents and acylating agents. They react with amines to form amides. These findings lend some weight to our hypothesis that the acyl sulfonium derived from methionine may have played a major role in the prebiotic synthesis of the first peptides on the primitive Earth. The reaction of trimethylsilyl triflate (Me3SiOTf) with γ-alkylthiobutyryl fluorides leads to previously unknown acyl sulfonium cations. These reactive species react both as alkyl-transfer reagents (e.g., with sulfides) and as acylating reagents (e.g., with amines). Such reactivity suggests that the acyl sulfonium derived from methionine may have been able to do the same in the primitive ocean.

A practical route from oxetane or thietane to γ-(thio)butyrolactone via solvated-proton-assisted cobalt-catalyzed carbonylative ring expansion under syngas atmosphere has been established. A wide variety of γ-(thio)butyrolactones can be afforded in good to excellent yields. The versatility of this method has been well demonstrated in the synthesis of intermediates towards the natural product Arctigenin as well as the pharmaceuticals Baclofen and Montelukast. The observed promoting effect of glycol ether solvent has been rationally interpreted.

Dicobalt octacarbonyl and triruthenium dodecacarbonyl together catalyze the regiospecific insertion of carbon monoxide into the least substituted carbon-heteroatom bond of a thietane or oxetane, affording thiobutyrolactones or butyrolactones in fine yields.
Indium-catalyzed direct conversion of lactones into thiolactones using a disilathiane as a sulfur source
Ogiwara, Yohei,Takano, Ken,Horikawa, Shuhei,Sakai, Norio
, (2018/06/15)
An indium-catalyzed reaction of lactones and a disilathiane leading to thiolactones is described. The direct synthesis of thiolactones from lactones with an appropriate sulfur source is one of the most attractive approaches in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. In this context, we found an indium-catalyzed direct conversion of lactones into thiolactones in the presence of elemental sulfur and a hydrosilane via formation of the disilathiane in situ. On the basis of the previous reaction, the application utilizing the disilathiane as a sulfur source was performed herein for the efficient synthesis of a variety of thiolactone derivatives from lactones by an indium catalyst.

Nickel-mediated formation of thioesters from bound methyl, thiols, and carbon monoxide: A possible reaction pathway of acetyl-coenzyme A synthase activity in nickel-containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases
Tucci, Gregory C.,Holm
, p. 6489 - 6496 (2007/10/02)
Current mechanistic proposals for the acetyl synthase activity of nickel-containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CH3-THF + CoA·SH → CoA·SCOCH3 + THF; THF = tetrahydrofolate, CoA·SH = coenzyme A) implicate a Ni catalytic center and the steps [Ni-CH3] → [Ni-COCH3] → CoA·SCOCH3. The second step presumably involves attack by the sulfur nucleophile of coenzyme A at the acyl carbon atom in the overall reaction [NiII-COCH3] + RS(H) → RSCOCH3 + NiII (+ H+) + 2e-. We have previously demonstrated these steps in Ni(II) complexes with physiological-type ligation. In this work, it is shown that the reaction of acyl and thiolate ligands coordinated to Ni(II) affords thioesters in high yield. The complex [Ni(bpy)(CH3)2], established to be planar by an X-ray structure determination, reacts with 1 equiv of arenethiol to afford diamagnetic planar [Ni(bpy)(CH3)(SR)] (8) with R = p-C6H4CH3, 2,6-C6H3(CH3)2 (8b), mesityl (8c), 2,4,6-C6H2iPr3, and 2,6-C6H3Cl2 (8e) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl). An analogous reaction gives [Ni(bpy)(C2H5)(S-mesityl)] (12) from [Ni(bpy)(C2H5)2]. Planar structures of 8c,e were confirmed by X-ray analysis. Complexes 12 and 8 with different R substituents undergo thiolate ligand exchange in THF with Keq ≈ 1. Reaction of 8e with 1 equiv of carbon monoxide yields the acyl complex [Ni(bpy)(COCH3)(S-2,6-C6H3Cl2)] (9a), whose planar coordination unit was confirmed by X-ray methods. Treatment of the complexes 8 in THF with more than 3 equiv of carbon monoxide yields [Ni(bpy)(CO)2] and the thioesters RSCOCH3 in 96-100% yield in situ. A solution initially containing 8b and 12 gave under the same conditions four thioesters in equal amounts, consistent with four complexes in the equilibrated solution prior to reaction with carbon monoxide. Reaction of 9a in THF with carbon monoxide produced 2,6-dichlorophenyl thioacetate quantitatively, indicating that Ni(II)-acyl-thiolate complexes are intermediates in thioester formation. The overall reaction is [Ni(bpy)(R′)(SR)] + 3CO → RSCOR′ + [Ni(bpy)(CO)2] (R′ = CH3, C2H5); the two electrons in the generalized reaction are captured by the metal as Ni(0). A related and necessarily intramolecular reaction of [Ni(bpy)(SCH2-CH2CH2)] was confirmed and shown to produce γ-thiobutyrolactone in quantitative yield in situ. Evidence supporting an analogous intramolecular path for reaction systems based on 8 is summarized. This investigation provides the first examples of Ni-mediated acyclic thioester synthesis and demonstrates a possible means of enzymatic thioester formation should coenzyme A- and an acetyl group coordinate to the Ni(II) catalytic center.
